I mean, most fertilizers are produced in China and Canada, I don’t see how that becomes anything significant other than maybe marginally lower crop yields for a period of time

I suspect you researched “all fertilizers” instead of specifics like nitrogen based fertilizers or sulfur, an essential component for turning pure phosphate into phosphate based fertilizer.

Isn’t China far and away the largest producer of Nitrogen fertilizer or did that change recently?

Canada is big for potash, but I think other fertilizers are likely either from the Middle East or Russia or Belarus
